Survive

Even a tree
must struggle to survive,
tossed and torn
in the wind and rain,
yet it grows stronger
and begins to thrive,
becoming greener
for all its pain.
Susan J.
Here we stand
Much to their surprise
Or dismay
Or confusion
Fat men are a whisper
A forest cut down for comedic relief
Only seen if we are funny
Only loved if we have money
Hey kid.
Keep doing what you’re doing
I know sometimes it hurts to exist
I know no one seems to understand
I know you’re afraid to tell them
There’s so much we will never tell
Dear life to be lived you’re a stranger
The life I have lived left me numb
Beatings and insults brought anger
But t’was when I gave up that they won
Dear life to be lived am waiting
Cuz you know,
why you gotta try?
Plenty of people have gone through life
not trying or caring
so why me?
Cuz you know,
why you gotta think?
I've met plenty of people in my life
I wake up knowing that I don't have to worry anymore about whether or not I am loved by someone.
When the sun would shine its rays through my blinds, I would look away in fear of witnessing another day alive.
Trapped on an island and rotting inside
The world is cruel and I despise
The raft I built is standing strong
It has to get me to where I belong
The fish are leaving so I must too
Her smile was fake,
her soul was crushed,
she saw all the bad,
no good in her sight.
The colors were gone,
Nostalgia has become part of my personality,
Really, I don't mind.
I dig up old memories
it's a revelation to rewind
Because though my eyes are the same shade of brown they were 365 days ago
On the fifteenth day
Of April,
Of the eighteenth year,
Lay my motivation
To rub dry tears from my eyes
And have a great day.
When I write I never ask why.
I never had to think about it.
It always just happened.
But it wasn't until I noticed
That I write to survive,
I write because words can save lives.
It seemed logical at the time.
But now I stare at the scars,
Demonized by those around me.
To them each one is ugly,
To them each one is alienating.
To them each one is my insanity.
Most of my generation is focused on social statuses
How many friends and likes
They get on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter
It's like our lives
Equate to a laptop and a cellular device
My heart half died when she left me so soon,
Never did I believe I could survive without my muse
The other half comforts and tries to make up,
But a Father is a far cry from a Mother's tender love.
Faith
The unparalleled charter of an Island life can take you by storm.
The waves crashing against the shores to reassure that they are your only call.
No people, No love, No trust
Day One:
Through my mind, thoughts race
Am I to survive
The deserted island I must face?
Necessities, staples, necessities, for which I strive,
Repeat in my mind while I pace
I want to disappear,
and leave it all behind.
Have all go away,
Make my eyes blind.
I don't want to see anything at all,
I don't want to listen, or answer your calls.
What keeps us breathing when death stares us in the face?What keeps us walking when our legs are numb?What keeps us standing when the world is pushing us down?What keeps us living when nothing else can?
Someone once said to me that I
fake it to make it.
At first most would deny it,
everyone hates fake people
right?
Look around
that girls smile?
All I need is the oxygen you give me to breathe
All I need is for the moon to rise and the sun to settle
For the stars to shine and my worries to turn mellow
All I need is the hope for a new tomorrow and an alive today

My main thing on racisim is dating.

Addiction. Is an evil thing
He’s your friend but he’s also your foe
He holds out his hand waiting for you to jump
Laugh at the Devil
And dance in the pain
Sing through the struggle
And breathe in the rain
Fret about nothing
Try not to forget
That life will be better
If you just don't fret.
My words are more than just ink on paperThey are a prayerA silent chronicle of my life through my eyesMore than just simple sighs they areWishes and dreams
Embrace My Love.
Inhale my Spirit and Immerse My Soul.
Let My life Explode Into Amillion Pieces.
Let My Pain be Consoled.
Drown In My Sins Until Evil Releases.
As I am a Dove As for you Is A Crane.
You know they say gay marriage is not happening !
But if you wear two of the same socks or shoes. Then you matching it.
In if you wear two different colors then you mixmatchin.
Do you know what that emptiness feels like Inside?
When Knots in your Stomach Ties.
Do you know what it feels like when your smile hides?
Do you know what the coner feels likes when theres no one behind?
Colors begin to fade.
Hands begin to lose feeling from the tight grip.
The walls begin to cave.
Clothes are being ripped.
Theres no light just shade.
The room begins to spin.
Tears roll down her face.
I wish I was special, But Im Just Different.
I wish I Was A Gift, But im just a Present.
I Wish I was a Blessin, But Im Just blessed.
I wish I could Fly, But instead I can Walk.
You've move on now and I respect you
I will never come between the 2 .
But when I said I Love You I commited my heart to you.
My souls crys for you .
My heart whispers to you.
If you could Place your arms on someone for the last time, would you just hold me?
If you could walk anywhere in the world you wanted, would you walk out my life?
I live in the darkness
I can hear the blades get sharpened
i am cold and wet
All i have is this carpet, which i use as a blanket
I do what i'm told and my stomach is still flat
I was a broken child from a broken home,
But now im Becoming A women being put back together.
Im Not Alone, I Walk With My Dreams And Live With My Fears,
Down, from my sleep to the floor,
I came tumbling down.
The wind and waves caught the ship
And whipped her stern around.
I will break away.
I will break away from the walls that hold me.
I will break away.
I will break away from the lies they've told me.
We survive in a world of consumption
No compassion for the surrounding
How can we agree that we even live
Keeping a smile on your lips is harder than it looks
When you’re spiraling down in a sea of depression
One thing after another
You’d be surprised how much power we have over our own minds. I imagine survival back before our times and the development that required. They used their brains and had too. Using each part and functioning as one form.
My heartbeat is frozen
I to you is forgotten
The love is cold now, and dead
But you are stuck like ice in my head
I'm cursed
You breathe
Yet, nothing comes out
You bleed
Yet, never die
To tumble into a world of pure sorrow
Is worse of a fate than chaos
The screams we once held are no more
The apathetic deal with their emotions by not touching them.
Thoughts, what thoughts?
They turn feeling into physicality
Some say its a brute, primal way.
But it's genius,
Brilliant,
It might have been a beautiful day,
If it wasn’t for what’s coming my way.
The sky is blue,
The cow bellows moo,
The birds are singing,
The church bells ringing,
The sun is bright
What is freedom? Is it the light I see in this dark place? Is it just a word, or do I give the meaning to it? Is it the feeling of floating freely in poisonous water?
She really thought it was real this time
She was stubborn that this time, this time he was the one
So she danced with words on her tongue
And made him feel like a prince
What do I want?
What do I need?
What could possibly motivate me?
I've seen the horror,
the desolution
the absolute aberration
that humanity can create
the sex, the drugs
I lay in bed thinking of you once again
It's like you're filling up my mind
With dangerously deadly mines
You've implanted in my brain
Seasonal breeze, please slide in my window,
Flow through my hair and take away the pain of cramping fingers.
I love my big brain, but with the way it’s being endowed
Angel Child
Never let them see you cry
Those Hazel eyes only reflect pain
From the hurt of the hurters
They will never know the bruises they made
Carried weight in your heart
Delicate features, slight stature.
That is who she is.
Shy, unassuming, ignored,
She dances on the air, moves like a ballerina.
Twirling, twirling, twirling,
One wrong move could send her falling.
